Parisian church organist from 1689 and to the royal chapel from 1706, were he not the main character of a humorous footnote in the life of Johann Sebastian Bach, Louis Marchand would probably not be remembered today.
In the autumn of 1717, while visiting the court of the Elector of Saxony, Marchand agreed to participate in a contest of improvisation with Bach.
Marchand wrote one opera, one cantata, French and Italian airs, three sacred works to texts by Racine, and compositions for organ and harpsichord.

Marchand became one of the royal court organists in 1708, and in 1713 he made a lengthy tour of Germany.
Marchand's rather messy life was littered with personal and professional contention, and he devoted little energy to publishing his music.
Marchand's Te Deum verses display his brilliant improvisatory skills, and the movement designations reflect the required registration: plein-jeu, for example, refers to the full sound of the two main divisions (the grand orgue and the positif) of the French classical organ, minus the reed and tierce stops.

 INS Scholarship 1997: The Assassination of Napoleon
Marchand's painstaking accuracy in recording the daily events at Longwood House, just as they occurred, made the equivalent of a doctor's case file of careful notes detailing the progressive decline of a terminally ill patient.
Marchand took home to France some of the actual hair that was shaved from Napoleon's head on May 6, 1821, and very carefully put the hairs into an envelope on which he wrote: "Les cheveux de l'Empereur." This lock of hair, in its original envelope, remained faithfully preserved through the years by Marchand's descendants.
Louis Marchand is recognized by all historians, and the companions of the time, as a loyal, devoted valet who served Napoleon like a son.

 Louis Marchand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis Marchand (born February 2, 1669 in Lyon; died February 17, 1732 in Paris) was a virtuoso organist and harpsichordist.
As a result of that, an enraged Marchand broke off in the middle of one of his concerts and, before the entire assembled court, told the king that if his wife was receiving half of his salary she should come and play the rest of the concert.
Despite Marchand's success and popularity in his day, only a few airs and cantatas, plus two harpsichord suites (1702) were published.

 Louis Marchand
Figlio di Jean Michel e di Lucresse Ruelle, Louis deve aver avuto i primi insegnamenti musicali dal padre, che era organista e maestro di musica a Lione.
Quando Marchand giunse in quella città, dopo aver sconfitto tutti gli organisti di Francia e d'Italia, si offrì di improvvisare, accettando di gareggiare con l'esecutore tedesco scelto dal re di Polonia; nessuno in Germania osava entrare in gara con un simile campione.
Marchand conobbe l'Italia perfettamente e fu uno degli emuli di Couperin nel tentativo di conciliare i gusti francese e italiano.

The work was commissioned by Louis XIV and Madame de Maintenon to be set to music for the students at Saint-Cyr, founded in 1686 by Mme de Maintenon to educate daughters of noblemen.
Marchand’s settings may have been written for performance at Notre Dame in Versailles and require a large orchestra, three vocal soloists, and choir (choral parts, however, may be sung by soloists).
Marchand’s use of the orchestra is remarkable; the accompanying instruments not only add contrast to the musical form but also provide color to intensify the vocal line.

 In Napoleon's Shadow   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Louis Marchand was Napoleon's devoted valet and better placed than anyone to record the Emperor's habits, relationships and views on the events that dominated the closing years of his empire and his life in exile.
Marchand's testimony, untranslated and unavailable until now, provides key evidence to support the theory that Napoleon was poisoned on St Helena by a Bourbon agent.
Marchand captures the dramatic and commonplace events in the imperial palaces of the Tuileries and Fontainebleau between 1812 and 1814, Napoleon's exile on Elba, the Hundred Days, events on HMS Bellerophon and HMS Northumberland - when Napoleon hoped for, but was denied, sanctuary in England - and Napoleon's final exile on St Helena.

They are sons of Louis Marchand who came from Washington state and was, before his death, a member of the Okanagan Band for many years.
Marchands, by reason of allotments in Colville Reserve in the state of Washington and receiving monies from there from time to time, are not entitled to be members of the Okanagan Band.
Considering this evidence carefully, all I can say is that a doubt is raised as to whether these Indians should be now considered as residents or band members in the United states or be considered as still entitled to remain members of the Okanagan Band where they have been for so many years.

A Franco-German "summit" took place in Dresden in 1717, when Bach met with an older French composer, Louis Marchand, for a keyboard contest.
Despite Bach's decisive victory (the defeated Marchand never showed up for the second day of the contest), we learn from Bach's son, Carl Philip Emanuel, that his father indeed admired Marchand's harpsichord technique and compositional style.

Louis Marchand had the bad fortune to accost Johann Sebastian Bach in a famed musical contest, in which he was resoundingly defeated and thereby gained a place in every subsequent study of the "Great Composers".
Born in Lyon, Marchand was the organist at the Royal Chapel from 1708 to 1714, then fell from favor and was exiled to Dresden in 1717 where he was unlucky enough to cross the great Bach, then in his thirties.

Cellmates Émile (Henri Marchand) and Louis (Raymond Cordy) conspire to escape, but only Louis is able to make it out, re-establishing himself as a phonograph manufacturer, eventually becoming a respected and powerful industrial magnate.
When Émile finally escapes from incarceration, he inadvertantly winds up working in Louis' factory, and upon recognizing his old prison buddy, is in a position to severely damage Louis' position.
Anxious to maintain his image, Louis strikes a deal with Émile, setting him up with the woman he is transfixed on, but as the factory continues to grow, more outside influences end up in the picture, leading to a farcical turn of events that offers to free the pair once and for all.

In his own lifetime, Bach was lionized as a keyboard virtuoso - feared even.
In 1717 he challenged the French player Louis Marchand to a musical duel at the court of Dresden and won by default when Marchand snuck out of town the night before the contest.
"It would be wrong to conclude from this defeat of Marchand in Dresden that he must have been a poor musician," observed the contemporary critic Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg.

L’art de Louis Marchand (1669-1732) et celui de son élève Pierre Du Mage (1676-1751) sont beaucoup plus proches de la tradition liturgique gallicane de l’orgue, mais portent tout autant la marque des genres profanes.
The art of Louis Marchand (1669 - 1732) and that of his pupil Pierre Du Mage (1676 - 1751) are much closer to Gallican liturgical organ tradition, but they bear just as many marks of profane genres.
» There is, in fact, in Marchand’s music an unparalleled mastery of instumental style, an instinct for dramatic or virtuosic effect, noble expressiveness (whether serious or tender), and furthermore a feeling for development that was unique in his period.
